Nothing succeeds like a dollop of humour. Laughter is the best Medicine and this Book is just what the Doctor ordered. The Author finds humour in the most stressful and bizarre situations! His 3rd Book like the other 2 before, is a laugh riot. The Author also has a serious poignant side though, as a few of his anecdotes reveal.
BEYOND BANDRA, made quite a splash at the last Celebrate Bandra Festival 2018.

Edwin E Fernandes
Edwin Fernandes Author and hard core Mumbaikar, aspired to be a Journalist. Journalism’s loss was Banking’s gain as Edwin joined the then financial behemoth – IDBI. (He also edited the House Journal of IDBI, for decades). Edwin surprised himself, by completing a full tenure in the Bank of almost 38 years. He retired as a General Manager. Add to that a 2-year post-retirement stint, in one of the concerns of the Reserve Bank of India. A total banking service of 40 years, not bad for a reluctant Banker who also served as a Nominee Director, on many Assisted Companies.
Banking also gave the multi-talented Edwin, ample opportunity to pursue his other passion, sports. Edwin was the President of the IDBI Sports Club and has the distinction of captaining the Football Teams of IDBI, in Mumbai and Guwahati. He now keeps fit by playing Badminton and swimming occasionally. He is also a Soft Skills Trainer, conducts Corporate Quiz Contests and is a star blogger on Sulekha.com
